That's your job as a teacher -- to teach kids that every book is going to have wrong/biased/missing stuff, and that's why they need to read more than one book.
Is that really going to work, though? I mean, in college, or even if it's something they're doing a report on, sure, but every week for homework in their social studies class?
Eh, it's not like they meant to get it wrong, and I assume they probably corrected it in later editions. It's particularly bothersome because it not just gets it wrong, it makes a point with it. Anyway, I suppose such a teacher would be familiar enough with the material to know when there's a problem with the text.
Fortunately, I'm not gonna teach history. Thank God.

I just meant in principle, not that they should fact-check every line of every textbook. It would be more like a head's up.
How else are they going to learn the moon landing was faked?
ixnay on the akefay....
They're on to us.
I just realized why I even care about this: I'm still mad from first grade or whenever it was we learned subtraction, and they told me that if I had written (say) 2-5, I must have written it wrong. Just tell me I'll learn how to do that later! Not that it's impossible!!!1!-1!!
At least you didn't have a nun telling you that if you erased, angels would tell her you did and you'd fail.
t still not over Sister Patricia - shudder
is very, very glad she did not have Sister Patricia as a teacher
!!!1!-1!!
love this.
HMOG. I had some wacky teachers, but none like THAT! Why did god put erasers right there on the ends of pencils if we're not supposed to use them??
